I Fear I May Relapse I Am Trying Very Hard to Stay Clean?

Question by annie: I fear i may relapse i am trying very hard to stay clean?
I’ve had a terrible year. I used to use drugs heavily in the past. I was clean for about 5 years. Then this past year I relapsed for about 3 months and I have been clean since September. I had a lot happen within the last year, deaths in the family, I had a life threatening miscarriage in May (before my relapse), and I had been trying to escape a scary relationship of abuse. Now I’m in counseling have been since August and I still feel “abused”. I really feel so badly traumatized I feel like just numbing myself. I remember the feeling of escape and I crave it so badly. I’m trying so hard. But it is very tempting. I feel so damaged.
